When you submit an offer, agent will sign an Agency disclosure and still will receive the comission in the sale, which he's the procuring cause.Some states do it all the time (PA) but here the exclusive buyer agreement usually used for off MLS properties (when seller doesn't pay comission, auctions where buyer pay comissions, short sales).Everything from MLS is already regulated and doesn't need exclusive buyer agreement 

It's called fraud.First you bring the loan current so it is no longer in default, then as long as you make sure the underlying mortgage is always paid regardless of whether or not you are making money on it, and you have signed disclosures from the seller that they know you are not going to pay off their mortgage and especially if all paperwork is signed in front of an attorney, then you are fine.The attorney you spoke with is either inexperienced or doesn't want to learn new things.
